“On the Moy, between our house and the town of Foxford, a boatful of people were having great fun.”
On the Moy, between our house and the town of Foxford, a boatful of people were having great fun. They were throwing up apples to see which one would catch them. The boatful turned on its side and the boatful was drowned.
In Park there lived Ellen Brogan and four of her brother's children. There was oil in the house and Ellen started filling oil for some one. She let some oil fall on the floor and she threw ashes on it to sweep it up. It took on fire.
She ran out the window. The children ran to bed, but they were burned to pieces.
